Searching for sea-glassseashells & marine debriFlotsam and jetsamFloating in from the seaGive me the sun and the sandLeave me to ponderthe perfection of this landCreamy foam on waves of turtle greenBlue crystal walls, Whisper my nameEbbing flow of oceans deepSing my soul, at last to sleepLike lullabies and twinkling starsYour soothing simple tempo beatsThe pure melodies of natureAnd nothing else competes.

Traditional pencil drawing on paper with layers of digital painting to complete. An especially popular piece which I think is so, because of it’s deep personal meaning to me. This small painting became bigger than I could ever have imagined, because it spoke of something that I knew nothing of, except that which was in my subconscious mind. An example of how creativity is often able to bring to the fore, the things that are smouldering away deep in our souls, the things that no amount of conscious thinking can heal or repair. Sometimes, it’s only the magic of dipping into the creative consciousness and being brave enough to wander in there with no or little expectations of oneself, that brings about a revelation that is not only your own truth, but speaks somehow to others also.

One of my most popular designs, and I’m so very grateful for all my customers and all the support of redbubble members, who constantly uplift and offer encouragement, my gratitude is unending, thank you!*Beachcombers Sunrise (alternative vintage version)

Beachcombersa little drawing I created by hand a few weeks ago, I’ve just completed painting this one digitally, in time for Mother’s Day in Australia which falls on May 10 (just happens to be my birthday too :)

Should we go in or not?…I LOVE it…..you are a genuis…but you know that….

lol, that’s right Janis.. thank you!!i just found out that my mum has a photo of a similar image when I was 3 with her at the beach in Yamba, on our first family holiday, she is having dad copy it and send it to me, and i’ll post it here and perhaps with a little ‘memories’ journal about it all, as I have no memory of mum and I doing this, only the photo to prove it happened. I have one memory of that time, but its of me catching my first fish with my father :) x

As always, searching out the little details in your work is a wonderful little adventure in itself. Love the little flower the toddler is holding and the delicate fringing on the towel.Beautiful work Karin.

o Marion i am so glad you like it, and the little flower…the fringing, thank you for noticing….i really appreciate you :) x
